Bill Simmons went on Wednesday’s edition of The Herd with Colin Cowherd and decided to drop an atomic bomb on Aaron Rodgers over his latest controversy.
According to multiple reports, Rodgers is unvaccinated against the illness despite telling reporters over the summer he was “immunized.”
Simmons claimed the Green Bay Packers quarterback is a diva and a “classic narcissist.”
“I think Rodgers is a diva. I think he’s been a diva the last couple of years. I think the way he handled this offseason was very diva-ish. He didn’t seem like a team-first guy to me. I didn’t understand it. I didn’t understand why he chose the week of the NFL Draft to blow it up into an even bigger story,” he said.

“You talked about ex-teammates. … Some of the people who have played with him and how they’ve talked about him, how candid he’s been about them drafting another quarterback when he’s in his late 30s. How he makes it seem like he’s on the 2021 Jaguars, but he’s on a good team.”
Simmons took issue with Rodgers allegedly becoming a “me” guy.
“This ‘woe is me’ stuff, I’m going to go even deeper, I think sometimes people get weird when they get older. … Sometimes people who are single start to become a little narcissistic and they start seeing everything through this lens of ‘me, me, me, me.’ What about me? Everything’s about me. To me, he just seemed like a classic narcissist the last year where everything was somebody else’s fault,” the columnist said. “He took no responsibility. He honestly thought he was going to be the ‘Jeopardy!’ host, which was insane. They were never making him the ‘Jeopardy!’ host. Everything he did kinda compromised his team.”
As we know now, Rodgers has completely lost his mind with his comments to Pat McAfee:
The 37-year-old QB tested positive for COVID-19 and is unvaccinated, meaning he will miss 10 days, per league protocol.
Second-year quarterback Jordan Love is expected to make his first NFL career start.
